WORD FOR THE WEEK

Do not fret because of evil men

or be envious because of those who do wrong;

for like the grass they will soon wither,

like green plants they will soon die away.

Trust in the Lord and do good;

dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Delight yourself in the Lord

and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord;

trust in him and he will do this:

He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn,

the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently before him;

do not fret when men succeed in their ways,

when they carry out their wicked schemes.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;

do not fret - it leads only to evil.

For evil men will be cut off,

but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

A little while and the wicked will be no more;

though you look for them, they will not be found.

But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace. 

Psalm 37:1-11

"When evil seems to be winning, submit to God.

Put off irritation...envy...and anger.

Let's give God the sovereign right to deal with evildoers in His time and His ways."
